It focuses on the arrangement of the words, both grammatically and stylistically Examples: Story, Speech, Letter, Newspaper, Report, etc. I have four favorite colors. These are black, white, gray, and blue. Among them, my most favorite is gray and the least is blue. If I were to rate each, gray would be 50%, black is 30%, white is 15%, and the rest is for blue. Nothing beats gray, really.
